page file allocation

[Jonathan]

I have a problem. You see, every time I load up Windows XP
my computer is fine, but when I click the username, it
takes a long time to load and my when it does it says
that Windows created a temporary page file. So I go to
the System properties to change the memory, and I do, but
it still has the same problem. I noticed that it said
that there was 0 mb of memory allocated. Does this have
anything to do with the problem, and if so, how can I
change it????????????????????????????

You must log in as Administrator. On System
Properties/Advanced->Performance Options/Advanced-

Virtual Memory->Change:

Make sure C: is highlighted (unless you have set up the
paging file on a different drive) and check to see if the
No Paging File radio button is selected. If it is change
the selection to System Managed Size and OK, OK, OK and
then reboot.

That should do it. There is not a paging file for each
user.

Make certain that the System account has the correct NTFS
permissions on the volume on which the paging file is configured.

Also, make certain that you are using the Control Panel | System
applet to modify the paging file settings, and that you click
the Set button after you enter the appropriate values in the Initial
Size and/or Maximum Size boxes.
